A host checking clients web directory is not a violation of privacy laws, all hosts cover this in their TOS (we have the right to, etc)
And of course they know what kind of site is hosted on this server because they get complaints about them all the time. And when they chose to continue hosting a file-locker about which they receive complaints on daily bases, with that they chose to continue hosting stolen and illegal content. The "they couldn't have known" argument really isn't a valid one here. They do know because people keep telling them. I told them months ago already that there's bestiality on these servers and the posts in the forum where this material is being exchanges are a few months old. So this wasn't uploaded one week ago. If someone would get a server from them, put a bakery site on there, and put illegal porn in a sub web directory, and it would take 2 years before someone would find it, yes then I would agree with you, the hosting provider could not have known. But the real situation totally differs from that.
